The Lectures on Poetics Series at the University of Frankfurt VI
has hosted many illustrious speakers at its lectern, including
Ingeborg Bachmann, Theodor Adorno, and Heinrich Boll. At the
beginning of 2007, Urs Widmer--described by the Independent as "one
of the living greats of Swiss literature"--spoke to more than
twelve hundred students and enthusiasts, sharing the sum of his
understandings of poets and their timeless creations. In On Life,
Death, and This and That of the Rest, English language readers will
gain access to Widmer's historic talks for the first time through
Donal McLaughlin's excellent translation. Here, Widmer imparts his
views on the poet as deviant and as sufferer, and as the conduit
for the dream of singing to the imagination in the nameless voice
of the people. Here, one of our finest living writers shares his
experience of life as an author and as a devotee of the printed
word with a new and enthusiastic readership.
